60 years of leaving the world better than we found it
Our aim is to create value beyond profit, ensuring our business operations contribute positively to the environment and social causes, and to conduct ourselves responsibly. Our environmental, social and governance approach is deeply connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), embedding sustainability, social value, and strong governance into everything we do – from our strategy and operations to the way we work every day.
Environmental action
Preserving our plant is not just our responsibility. It’s our priority. Our commitment to tackling the climate crisis drives us to embrace innovation, conservation and collaboration. It’s not just about what we design, but how we design.
Social impact
Creating social impact through design has been how we do things since 1961. But our social value goes further than our backstory. Our commitment to social responsibility guides our actions, to supporting local initiatives, to championing diversity and inclusion across our studios.
Good governance
At the heart of how we run our practice, is a commitment to transparency, accountability, and integrity. We believe that strong governance is essential for building a responsible business, driving sustainable growth, and creating lasting value for the communities that we design for.
Our latest Environmental, Social, and Governance report
Our 2023–2024 report highlights our progress and performance against our strategy objectives. We are proud of the steps we have taken in working towards our environmental targets, and have seen our social impact grow both on our projects and with our staff and communities. Each year, we will continue to publish an ESG report. In doing so, it will allow us to take steps to drive the operational and cultural changes needed to deliver measurable value.
